Sanders, Editor and Prop T URSDAY, November 19th, '96 AD VERTISI.N G CANADA The Toronto papers are favorably struck, by the idea that Canada's great need is more advertising, The World wants usto boom ourselves more per- sistently, and the Globo suggests that we should stamp all goods sent to the Motherland with the trade mark"Made in Canada.'' The experience of the German manufacturers who are cow palled to stamp their goods "Made in Germany," thereby stirring up au agi- tation against themselves, is hardly of a kind to encourage imitation; but it may be that colonial produce, similarly "narked, would elielt commendatory rather than hostile demonstrations, and then we would come into competition, not with the city man, but with the farmer, who is not likely to he a ens. tomer of ours in any case. It is eer• tainly desirable to seek some plan by which we can be sure that the British buyers will always know the difference between Canadian and American goods This would enable us to make or break a reputation in each line for ourselves without any danger of being blamed for others' faults er haying our merits credited to a rival. It is true, too, that we want the peo- ple of the, world in general to know what an ea cellent wheat growing coun. try we have, what stores of mineral wealth lie hidden in our hills, what broad fields for the play of industry are to be found in our forest and in our fish- eries. But it is equally true that the best way to impress the world with these facts is to show them results. The, prospector for a home is usually a very practical fellow. He is glad to know that we have excellent wheat growing lands, as according to their own story, have most other countries. But the chief thing he wants to learn is: Are the farmers now on these lands prosper- ous and contented? He cares very lit- tle about soil, which has only to be tickled with a plough to laugh with a harvest, if the humorists who are now doing the aforesaid tickling have great difficulty in raising a laugh on their own countenances. It is results that he wants, not so muck results told in bushels of wheat, as results that appear in comfortable homes and a good living• The fact cannot be too well under- stood that our best advertisement is an immigrant made happy, It is the "let- ters home" which have all along been the real immigration literature of this continent, One European who makes a success of it in Canada becomes a living loadstone drawing to his neigh- borhood detached human particles from the old home, who hope to better them selves here as he has done. And a Eu- ropean who fails is Canada becomes a cloud of discouragement which seen afar off, leads men to turn their eyes is an- other direction. The unemployed in our cities are not only a drain upon our sympathies and a tax upon our charity —they are a menace to the future of the country; for any letter they send home spread distrust of our brightest pro- mises in all directions. Hence it be- hooves us for the most practical rea sons to find work for tle unemployed; and a Government colonization scheme, settling these men upon the rich lands of the North-West with implements, .seed, food and capital enough to go on with, would be a far-seeing immigra. • policy, indeed. Then the very • .men who now say that life is a failure in Canada would be sounding the praises of the prairies we want to fill. A complement of such a plan would be of course, the shaping of the trade and taxation policy of the county to help the farmer reap as great a profit as possible. Ile can gain considerably, as a matter of fact, before there is den- ger.of him becoming abnormally weal- thy. There is no one who will deny that he should have a better chance than he has now, And if he should get it, his increased prosperity will pulsate through all the channels of trade, and his success will draw settlers as a gold ''find" draws prosnectors. termed, They profess to see unmis takably signs of its fast approach. In' deed they insist that we have passed the border line. We 'guess that most classes in Canada could stand it for a year or two and we hope it is on hand and will last as long as the late period of depression—and we feel sure that all the people will answer Amen, GOOD TIMES. "The commercial experts of Britain, 'the United U nited States and Canada appear to think that those countries, at. all events are just entering on au era .of good times. Periods of inflation and depression in the business and commer ciai world appear to follow each other with never failing certainty. Why?—few can tell, It appears to be nature's law. pp - d of depression 0 u r period We have had p for several years and now•they expect its natural sequence—a period of in-: flation or pi`osperity as it i8 usually THE WHEAT SITUATION. The wheat experts of the world have about decided that the amount of wheat in the world at present should bring to the farmer about 75 to 82 cents a bush- el, The law of supply and demand would keep it at about that price. The present supply of wheat will not likely be sold at the old prices. Yet any price above SO cents will be due to speculation not to legitimate demand. Therefore should it bound up it will be for only a short time as speculation cannot maintain an enhanced price for "any lengthened period. That is about the general view taken by al. most all the coneeryative wheat experts of the world. The general public might do well to govern themselves accordingly. THE NE 17 COUNTY COUNCIL ACT There appears to be a great deal of want of information about the working of the new act. It will work about as follows;, No member of any municipal council for next year can bo a member of the new County Council. The election will be on the same day as the ordinary municipal elections. The qualifications for a county councillor are the same as formerly for Reeve. The county is divid- ed into eight districts and each district will elect two members, District No. 4, is composed of Stephen, Usborne and Exeter. Every person entitled to vote at municipal elections can also vote for county councillors. Each elector will have two votes for county councillors. Each voter can give one vote to each of two candidates; or can give two votes to one man by making two cross- es after the one name; of course only two votes must be marked, or the ballot will be spoiled. It is expected that the coming session of the Quebec Legislature, which opens next week, will be rushed through, and that the elections will le held in January. If you have any views about tariff matters see the government commis- sioners and hypmotise them and if your view is carried out of course the country will boom at once. Who will be the county councillors for No, 4 district? This is a question that is now being asked. We have heard the name of Mr. Thos, Kay, late Reeve of Usborne, mentioned as a prob- able candidate. Dr. Rollins, of this town, has definately decided to be a candidate and is in the field, Who conies next ? Now is the time to trot out your can- didates for municipal honors. Every- thing as yet is quiet about town. There is not the echo of a whisper of any election. Will somebody kindly start the fun? In Stephen it is said that Harry Eilber, the present effiicient Reeve will retain his seat preferring that at pres- ent to a seat in the County Council. No new aspirants in Stephen have yet declared themselves. In Usborne the old council will probably seek re-elec- tidn. We have no definate news from Hay, Biddulph or McGillivray. Send along your slates gentlemen! Wm, Currie, of Wawanosh, was out shooting rabbits one day recently, when he placed the muzxle of the gun upon his foot and was resting on the butt; the gun accidentally discharged and the contents went into his foot badly riddling some of the toes. YOUR OWN ARTIST.j A Child Can Use Diamond Paints. You can gild, silver, bronze or copper fancy baskets, frames, emblems, gas fixtures, lamps furniture, household ornaments and statuettes by using Gold, Silver, Bronze and Copper Dia- mond Paints which are manufacted by the proprietors of Diamond Dyes. By tfle aid of Diamond Paints you can make old things like new. None of the fifty cent paints surpass them either in quality or quantity, and but feware as good. With a ten cent package of Diamond Paint and a bottle of Diamond Paint Liquid, even a child can double the worth of many a household ornament. When buying any of the Diamond Paints, buy at the same time a bottle r with a of Diamond uu: Paint'Li large q size camel's hair brush, sold at ten cents. Each bottle contains . enough liquid tomix tWo;or three packages of Paint, DIPHTHERIA AT WIARTON. Au Examination Into the Recent Cases Tltei•e—Stringent Measures Adopted, Toronto, Nov. 17. -,Mr, J. J, Macken- zie, provincial analyst, has returned from Wiarton, where be found that the reports of the prevalence of dhtberia madeto the Provincial Board cif Health some days ago were fully verified. Twenty-two cases and four deaths have occurred during the past fortnight, the disease having evidently made headway through children from houses where the disease was prevalent continuing to at- tend school. The disease rapidly spread through three rooms , of the Public school. The local Board of Health, has evidently been lax in its duty, as a pub- lio funeral of a diphtheria patient was held In the case of one of the children of the Mayor, who is, ex -officio, a member of the local board, while the family physician is the medical health ofEoer.. The case was reported as diphtherial croup, which, it would seem, was not known to the local Board of Health to be a disease demanding a private funeral under the health regulations, Tho local board and the oitiznes are now, however, fully aware of the serious- ness of the situation. All the schools have been closed, and even the churches were closed on Sunday last. Mr. Macken- zie went thoroughly into thematter, and took the steps necessary to prevent the spread of the disease. It is hoped that as soon as the present cases which have been exposed to infection have either escaped or shown signs of the disease, the strin- gency of the measures now baing adopted will prevent further cases from appear- ing.
